Thursday morning on "Good Morning America" anchors George George Stephanopoulos and Elizabeth Vargas revealed the official ceremony poster for the 83rd Academy Awards.

"That looks pretty great, drumming up the excitement already," Vargas said after the unveiling.

"A little dark," George Stephanopoulos responded.

"Looks like Batman kind of, doesn't he?" asked Vargas.

"You’re Invited" features three distinctly Hollywood images with the fourth being the official 83rd Academy Awards poster which highlights a dramatically stylized Oscar, in keeping with the other images.

The 27x40-inch color poster, seen to the right, was designed by Omelet, the agency that created this year’s campaign. Fans can purchase the post for $20 here.

For a limited time, the Academy is also offering a collection of the four official 83rd Academy Awards iconic posters (20”x27”) for $35. The iconic symbols – the red carpet, the searchlights, the envelope and Oscar himself – are center stage in "You’re Invited," the 83rd Academy Awards marketing campaign unveiled on "GMA."

Fans are invited to download the artwork to use as wallpaper and profile icons, and to share with friends here.

"We are excited by the bold use of these iconic images in the campaign, which people around the world associate with their love for the Oscars," Oscar telecast producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer were quote in the press release.

After starting its Twitter account Oct. 25 and its Oscar Countdown Dec. 7, the Academy has begun its multiplatform, interactive campaign that culminates with the ultimate online watch party on Oscar Sunday, February 27.

Going back to the 1st Academy Awards for posters is a hard task to accomplish. The Gold Knight went as far back as possible. The oldest Academy Awards show poster in the collection of the Margaret Herrick Library is the 32nd Academy Awards show poster (show on April 4, 1960 honoring films of 1959).
